Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1247772A2] Disclosed is an apparatus for sensing the feeding of individual sheets of paper in which the feeding of two or more overlapping sheets can be detected in a sheet feeding apparatus for continuously transferring sheets of paper one by one along a predetermined paper traveling path. The apparatus employs a support plate (33) which allows the sheets of paper to slide, and a contact arm (41) adapted to contact the support plate and to be moved upward by a height corresponding to the thickness of the sheet of paper when the sheet of paper passes between the support plate and the contact arm, instead of using expensive rollers, bearings or the like as a means for sensing the thickness of a sheet of paper being fed. Accordingly, the rotational angle of the contact arm enables the thickness of a sheet of paper being fed to be sensed, so that the feeding of two or more overlapping sheets of paper between a driving roller and a driven roller is always detected correctly and reliably even when foreign matter is stuck to the rollers. Further, the paper feed sensing apparatus has a simple structure and malfunctions less. <IMAGE>
